Just a quick update, finally got the new tank and stand and transferred the inhabitants into their new home.
So now this is a re-Build of a re-Build. I thought about getting out of the hobby after the leak, but was finally having some good success after setting up the tank two years ago. So I...
New tank ordered, going with a 220 Gallon, 72x24x30. Should have it and the new stand after New Years.
The Tupperware Setup should work fine for another month.
Last update of the weekend, temporary tank is running well with adequate flow. All livestock accounted for except for 1 cardinal fish. Whew, I lucked out that I was home and this was a long weekend when this happened.
Ok, all fish have been transferred, just not gettin enough flow out of the overflows so going to add a sump to collect more water to create more pressure to move the water down into the basement. There is about 25 almost linear feet of travel into the sump so it will take a different a approach...

Time for a small tank update.
All in all things are doing well and getting closer to the point where I can start doing a few frags and provide them for an up-coming njreeefers meeting.
My major challenge has been battling cyano, I’ve been treating the tank with Chemi clean which has knocked...
Here is the link to my monthly update.
Only thing to report is I finally was able to knock back the Cyano with three treatments of Chemiclean. The last one being a 30% stronger dose. Some of the corals were not happy after the last dose, but after turning the carbon and skimmer back on they now...
